ws '* Charcoal Burners”? Brings ana: 
Boe aan’ Corot’s ‘‘La Danse des Amours” 
$86,000—The Dana Collection Realized 
an. spi dee of More than $11,000— 


ue vee Boni downstairs at Goickerne Hall 
last night were filled, as were most of those in 
the gallery, and there were people standing 
round back of the seats on the main floor to see _ 
and to take part in the sale of the pictures of | 
William H. Fuller and Charles A. Dana. There | 
were thirty-seven of the Fuller pictures all | 


together, but only thirty-six of them were sold. 
| Mr. Fuller had reserved the right to hold out 


“The Blue Boy,” the Gainsborough which had 
attracted a good deal of attention, unless an up- 
get price for it was met. The upset price was not 
announced until the picture was put up, the last 
number in the Fuller coilection, and then it was 
stated at $50,000. There was no response to 
the auctioneer’s call and the picture was taken 
down. The thirty-six pictures belonging to Mr. 


| Fuller that were sold brought altogether $166,- 


200. The highest price, as was expected, leav- 


‘ing out the Gainsborough, was brought by the 


Rousseau, ‘The Charcoal Burners’ Hut.’ 


|. Some one tried to start the bidding on that at 
_ $10,000. It was immediately raised to $15,000; 


then to $20,000, and went up by thousand-dol- 
lar bids most of the way to the final price, $36,- 


| 600, the highest figure of the evening. 


_ Mr. Dana’s Corot ‘‘La Danse des Amours”’ 
brought $36,000. The bidding on it started at 
$20,000, went up to $21,000, $25,000, $26,000, 


and so on by thousand-dollar bids to $32,000, and | 
then jumped to $35,000 and was carried to $36,- | 


- 000. The seven pictures of the Dana collection 

‘brought $79,700, an average of more than 
»$11;300 each. The average of the larger Fuller 
Collection is about $4,600 each. The total of 
_ the evening’s sales was $245,900. 


At the American Art Galleries yesterday after- 
noon 194 objects of Mr. Dana’s collection of 
Eastern ceramics were sold for $35,433.50. This 
makes a total sum for art objects sold yesterday 


at public auction in this city of $281,333.50, 
“and, adding to this the $19,811.50 of Thursday 
“afternoon’s sale of the Dana collection at the | 
_ American Galleries, théte is made the total eum 


‘of $301,145 paid for art goods at public sale in 


' New York within two days. All the sales were 
‘conducted for the American Art Association by 
‘ Thomas E. Kirby as.auctioneer. 


Of course, a large number of the paintings 


ast night, as of the porcelains in the afternoon, 
“were bought by dealers, some of the purchases 
‘being made, doubtless, for the dealers them- 
* pelves and others on order, and the names of 
“the real purchasers of some of the finest pieces 


were not made known te the public. The 


‘bidding for Constable’s ‘A Suffolk Water Mill,” | 
of the Fuller collection, was spirited. from the | 


start at $1,000, tothe sale at $3,000. At least 


|‘one of the Fuller pictures, an **Old Crome”’ 


entitled “Yarmouth Beach,’’ went out of town, 


Re ing to Mr. Mansfield of New Haven at $600, 


he Dupré ‘‘Le Cours d’Eau” went quickly 


from $1,500 to $3,850, and the Daubigny 


“«Hvening on the Marne,” which Samuel Unter- 
mver got for $5.000, went rapidly to that

dor Wormser, the Daubigny’s “On the River | 
Oise,” at $6,500, and Herman Schaus bought 
Millet’s ‘The Turkey Herder’’ for $20,500, 

The bidding on the Millet started at $15,000 
and advanced by thousands to $18,000, and 
then on to. the knockdown figure. Twenty 

‘thousand dollars was the first ofter for the Coros 

‘Ta sDanse des Amours,” and the bidding ad- 
vanced by $1,000 and $2,000 jumps to $35,000. 
At $36,000 it was sold to Berckmans, the buyer 
of the ‘‘Charcoal Burners’ Hut.” | ; 

Among those present at Chickering Hall were 

George G. Havens, Justice C. H. Truax, W. 
Hearst, W. H. Ketcham, George A. Hearn, and 
L. Crist Delmonico. There was a large attend- 
ance at the American Art Galleries yesterday 

_afternoon when the second installment of 194 
pieces of the Dana collection of porcelains was 

-gold. The bidding a part of the time was more 
brisk than on the day before, and the average of | 

rices was almost double that of Thursday, or, 
o be exact, above $182, as against something 
above $100 on Thursday. . mtroaien 
There was a good deal of interest aroused by 

‘the bidding on lot 232 of the catalogue, two 
statuettes of the dog Foo in clair de lume. The 
bidding at first was only moderate, although at 
liberal figures, but it was carried on by $10. 
advances to between $300 and , the 
figures being for each of the statuettes, 
not for the pair, before people noticed 
that there were apparently two bidders down | 
toward the front of the room, One of them 

-geemed to be in the room and the other just be- 

gene the doorway leading tothe adjacent gal- 

-Jery. These two advanced bids almost as regu- 

larly as the clock ticks until $520 was offered 
for each of the dogs, at which price they went 

‘to Randolph as agent. 

_ The bidding on 267 of the catalogue, the vase 
with blue and white decoration of aninteriorin 
which is depicted an imperial audience, was 
strong from $100 to $600, to which figure it 
went without any pauses. .The bidding on 278, 
a large ovoid vase, with elaborate landscape 
decorations, went right up trom $100 to $470, 
ra sik price the vase went to Thomas B. 

arke. i 

The two hawthorn jars, 279 and 280, excited 
gome interest. The bidding started at $500 on 
279, the jar that has its own cover, and went by 
$100 advances practically all the way to the 
price at which it seld, $3,000. It was bought 
by B. Altman. Mr. Kirby announced that the 
last jar of that kind sold in that room 
had brought $3,200.. The bidding on 280 
started as low as $50, but was soon pushed toa 
figure beyond that at which the other jars had 
gone, and when $4,000 was called, there were 
murmurs of applause around the room. The 
vase was sold at $4,100 to F, A. Bell. It was 

_gaid by some of the dealers and collectors later 
that while this jar was catalogued as having an 

-{mitation cover made in Paris, yet some ad- 
mirers prized the deeper shade of blue in the 
body of the vase above the brilliant blue of the 
first one sold. : ire en

NOTE 


THE American Art Association, in proceeding to sell at 
auction the late Charles A. Dana’s collection of Oriental 
porcelains, takes occasion to observe that of the many 
collections that have been disposed of by the Association 
during the last fifteen years it is at once the broadest in 
its scope, the most comprehensive in its character, and 
the most important in intrinsic value. Perhaps the As- 
sociation cannot better express itself in regard to the 
matter than by quoting some passages from a private 


letter received some time since. 
‘‘From the historical side of all these matters it 


seemed to me strange that the best collection I had 
seen should be in the hands of an amateur in New 
York. Of the three standard collections, national or 
nearly national in character, we have here that made 
by my lamented friend, Sir Wollaston Franks; the 
Louvre has the Grandidier endowment; and Dresden 
has the oldest of all, the Porzellan Sammlung of the 
Johanneum. I do not overlook Mr. George Salting’s 
superb collection in the South Kensington, but it is still 
private property, and it has never pretended to an edu- 
cational purpose. The others do, and their educational 
value is distinctly avowed and maintained. Now, that 
all three of these collections should, from a historical 
point of view, be distinctly inferior to a private collec- 
tion made, as I assume, for individual ends and the 
gratification of good taste, impresses me as quite unusual 
and remarkable. Did it befall me to have imposed 


6 NOTE 


upon me the duty of delivering a lecture on the history 
of Chinese porcelain, there is no collection that would 
furnish me the essential examples and illustrations as 
fully as that of Mr. Dana. They are not in the British 
Museum; they are not in the Louvre; and they are 
conspicuously absent at Dresden. Let me suppose that 
I have to tell my hearers about the earliest dispersion 
of the porcelain of China to other countries, I should 
be able to show them some of it; and then the nature 
of the object itself, coupled with the locality in which it 
was found, should serve for scholarly conviction and 
a powerful aid to memory. Marco Polo and Ibn Batuta 
learned a great deal from their travels, but if we only 
had a few of the actual objects that they tell us of, how 
infinitely would not our knowledge of those objects be 
increased? Therefore, when we trace the first devel- 
opments of trade and make old documents disclose 
that the Arabs many centuries ago invaded the remoter 
Eastern seas and carried back to the shores of India, 
to the Red Sea, and to the African coast, and to all the 
islands and continents that lie between, the products of 
China, it is mighty interesting to be able to put your 
hand on a piece of Chinese porcelain that somebody has 
dug up in Madagascar, or in Ceylon, or on the coast of 
Malabar, or on a spice island away down in the Malay 
Archipelago. That is precisely what I can do in the 
Dana Collection, There are specimens there of por- 
celain from all the places I have mentioned. Most of 
them were found by excavating graves and sites of 
former dwellings; and perhaps the most interesting 
thing in the study of porcelain is the identification of 
these pieces with those described in the various litera- 
ture of China which deals with the remote history and 
manufacture of porcelain. Since Dr. Hirth of Leipzig 
and Dr. Bushell of Peking have taught us to translate 
Chinese better than the older scholars did, a new field 


NOTE 7 


of surer progress to knowledge has been opened before 
us, and the ancient porcelains of assured provenance 
have now an importance they did not possess before. 
For this reason I was, in my narrow way, quite carried 
away by my researches in New York; and I am per- 
suaded that Mr. Dana must have had a most profound 
instinct in relation to the whole subject. Otherwise, 
how could he have sought, with such method and per- 
sistency, to acquire objects with which the ordinary 
amateur of porcelain does not concern himself at all, 
but which, from the scholar’s point of view, are the 
most interesting objects there are? The whole range 
of the celadon that he gathered leaves no room to 
doubt the soundness of this belief. In all the other 
collections that I have seen it is notso wide. So that I 


hold that if one would learn Martabani, and it is the 


foundation of the whole history of porcelain, he must 
go to New York. And it is not alone in respect of 
celadon that this is true. Grandidier points with par- 
donable exultation to his clair de lunes, his gray and 
blue Sunmg bowls and jars. He has never seen Mr. 
Dana’s. I must bring him over and show them to 
him,”

Seashore 


This marine view by the great realistic painter in- 
cludes but two elements, the sea and the sky, for the 
crashing breakers with their white crests are falling 
close in the foreground of the picture. The wild rain- 
swept sky occupies the upper half of the canvas and a 
vessel is dimly seen scudding along in the middle dis- 
tance on the right. Intensity and singleness of artistic 
purpose are concentrated in the representation of this 
stormy phase of nature, and the effect is depicted with 
power and simplicity. The characteristic deep greens 
and mineral grays of the painter appear in the color 
scheme, and the general aspect of the canvas is force- 


ful and convincing.

Sheep in the Forest 


In this picture by the great French painter of sheep 
the grandeur of the landscape should be specially men- 
tioned. While the sheep, as in most of Jacque’s com- 
positions, form the subject of the picture, the land- 
scape is in itself so fine and so complete as to make 
the picture a notable example of the best work of the 
artist. On the left of a road leading from the fore- 
ground is such pasture, rocky and sparse, as sheep 
delight to feed on, and here they are seen nibbling the 
herbage while their shepherd stands among the mass 
of the flock in the roadway, and farther off, under the 
branches of the trees, other groups of the picturesque 
animals appear in silhouette against the gray expanse 
of a river which flows peacefully past the forest. The 
great trees on the right of the composition are carefully 
studied and broadly painted with great truth of obser- 
vation and full understanding of unity of effect. The 
tone of the entire canvas is rich, but clear and atmos- 
pheric. It is one of those pictures that have made for 
Jacque his high reputation, and such an example as is 
very rarely met with at the present day.

Une Féte a Venise 


An imposing and beautiful canvas in the best style of 
the celebrated painter of scenes in Venice. The compo- 
sition presents the passing of the State barge, the mag- 
nificent “‘ Bucintoro,” which carried the Doge and his 
suite in the ceremonial celebrating the marriage of 
Venice and the Adriatic by throwing a ring into the sea. 
In the left foreground are the quays crowded with 
people in holiday attire. The white-and-gold vessel, 
with its great sails bellying out, its streamers fluttering 
and the great red banner flying from the masthead, in 
its triumphant passage preceded and followed by gon- 
dolas, occupies the centre of the picture. On either side 
in the distance appears the distant architecture of the 
city, with its well-known domes and towers. The white 
smoke of a saluting cannon envelops the stern of the 
barge, and over all gleams the radiant blue sky which 
is reflected in the surface of the shining water. The 
picture is remarkable for possessing a singularly har- 
monious and simple color scheme in the depiction of so 
gay and variegated an assemblage of elements, and for 
its fine decorative aspect.

No. 589 
On the River Oise 


The range and variety of subject in Daubigny’s land- 
scapes is limited only by the changes in the face of 
nature herself. In this picture an effect of gray 
weather is interpreted with all the sterling qualities of 
his art. The river in the foreground, with the bank 
rising on the right, and the opposite shore covered with 
trees, are the principal elements of the composition. 
The hour is that of sunset, and in the troubled sky of 
gray a bit of warm light appears at the horizon. One 
tall tree on the hill back of the distant river bank rises 
high above its companions and shows against the sky 
with dramatic effect. The picture is so full of atmos- 
phere, so sincere, so telling, and so poetic in its honest 
rendering of natural beauty that it evokes the sympathy 
of every spectator who is susceptible to the charm of 
nature. Its masterly execution, full, reserved color, 
and its beautiful harmonious tone endear it to the 
artist.

The Harvest Field 


This master of landscape painting, whose analytical 
knowledge surpassed that possessed by any other, is 
here seen in a picture inclining to synthetic treatment. 
His profound understanding of the forms of nature, 
even to the smallest details, underlies all his work, and 
‘‘ effect” is never sought for in his pictures without first 
obtaining structural completeness. In this instance, 
where a harvest field occupies the plain in the fore- 
ground, with peasants loading’ a cart—and masses of 
trees and windbreaks are seen in the middle distance— 
detail is truthfully presented throughout, while the 
warm afternoon light of the sun strikes downward from 
behind a cloud curtain of gray enveloping the landscape 
in a beautiful atmospheric glow. The gray and warm 
yellowish white of the sky, the bluish gray of the 
masses of foliage, and the tawny tints of the harvest 
field form a fine color harmony. This picture, with its 
original composition and reserved and puissant color 
scheme, is a landscape to be counted only in the cate- 
gory of Rousseau’s most distinguished works.

The Turkey Herder 


A Winter Pastoral of transcendent virility and true 
sentiment, by the great poet-painter of peasant life. 
The ‘‘Gardeuse des Dindons ” stands enveloped in her 
cloak and hood under a magnificent sky of rich, sober 
tone as impressive in effect as the rumbling bass of a 
great pipe organ. » The ground where she stands slopes 
upward, and beyond there is a distant prospect illum- 
ined by a patch of feeble sunshine. Some of the 
turkeys on the higher ground appear in silhouette 
against the sky and others are in the foreground about 
the keeper. The bare limbs of a tree and a high stack 
of fagots are the other elements that in this powerful 
picture portray the aspect of the barren season and 
intensify the effect of poetic isolation in the country life. 
The personal note of Millet’s genius is preéminently 
shown here in composition, color, and general treat- 
ment, and the picture is a fitting companion to such 
works as the ‘“ Peasant Leaning on his Hoe,” or ene 
Sower.” ‘The Turkey Herder” was shown at the 
Barye Exhibition, and, like ‘‘La Danse des Amours,” 
was one of the great stars of that famous assemblage 
of masterpieces,

La Danse des Amours 


One of the noblest classic compositions of the greatest 
of landscape painters. At the foot of a hill on the right 
are tall trees, whose rich and luxuriant foliage spreads 
majestically over half of the canvas ; on the left a mound 
covered with rocks and herbage. In the gap between 
these dark masses is a beautiful vista which shows a 
temple perched on an eminence, with a glimpse of..the 
sea and distant mountains. Over all is an evening sky 
of wonderful depth and luminous beauty of color. A 
group of figures is seen amid the trunks of the trees to 
the right, and in the immediate foreground are cupids 
dancing in a round, their figures dimly seen in the 
advancing shades of evening. The all-pervading, lim- 
pid atmosphere, the splendid masses of foliage painted 
with the depth and envelofe that characterize such 
masterpieces of Corot as the “ Biblis,’’ and the supreme 
beauty of the intense but delicately toned evening sky, 
make this one of the finest works of the master. At 
the great Barye Memorial Exhibition in New York in 
1890, when the finest works of the famous animal sculp- 
tor’s contemporaries were gathered from the most noted 
collections in the country, this picture was easily the 
best among eleven celebrated Corots, and was univer-
